Automotive specialized training at Universal Technical Institute (UTI) provides students with the kind of knowledge manufacturers and dealerships value.

After completing UTI’s core Automotive Technology program, graduates can apply to a Manufacturer-Specific Advanced Training (MSAT) program where instructors will teach them to service and repair vehicles from leading manufacturers like Ford, Toyota and BMW, using current technology and systems unique to these brands.1

This specialized training can prepare students for career opportunities with these manufacturers and potentially set them apart from other entry-level technicians who do not have this training.

“If you’re gonna’ jump into it, jump into it all the way. And what I tell these students is, it’s really a very small timeframe in your schooling that sets you up for the rest of your life.”6
